Don't forget chapstick and sunscreen. I went in September and man was it dry. Really had to watch yourself or you'd get burnt quick.
cant agree more. this is the first thing i always reply to these questions. it is a common mistake to think that because it is cold, that the sun is less of a problem. mind you, never met a ph that didnt have sunscreen on him, or in his pick-up. the second, and probably the most important thing is to bring along your smile. Africa is Africa. it will mostly be up to you if you enjoy it or not. sense of humour ? check! sunscreen? check! the rest is easy.
